Each drum pad contains multiple velocity layers to provide clean, saturated and driven variations for each sound. The velocity ranges follow a non-linear progression, pushing the drive articulations into the upper velocity range. This gives the drum kit a *sweet spot* at higher volumes that plays like the power band of an internal combustion engine. Several pads feature additional sample layers and sound design nuances, giving the **808TK** its unique sonic texture. All pads feature an independent Volume control, with an additional Tight control for the hi-hats. Muting has been implemented for each cymbal for enhanced realism and playability.
